snowlover2 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 May could end on a wet note. Looking like the remnants of Alberto will come up through the OV. 12z Euro/Ukie/GGEM all bring it north through the IN/OH border area. GFS turns it ENE after landfall and keeps it across the south.

Regardless of whether it becomes a tropical system (currently subtropical), this would have to be one of the earliest instances of remnants affecting part of the area.

cyclone77 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Picked up 0.08" today. Had some nice CGs hit close to work, but didn't get much rain there either. Temp made it to 87 before the clouds/precip cooled us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 days earlier than Arlene in 2005. Sidenote, DTX calling for 92 on Monday 3 below the record of 95 dating back to the scorcher of 2012. Considering the magnitude of heat that could potentially build in the plains next week, the talk of a hot summer might be rising soon. I would definitely lean on the above average side of things going into summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring 2018 Is The Worst Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Why was the high at ORD today only reported as 89 when the temp was at 90 for twenty consecutive minutes between 4 PM and 4:20 PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely lean on the above average side of things going into summer. I scanned the tropical records and the only May system I can find that affected the region was Amanda in 1863 (this system was just discovered a few years ago). All the other May systems were well out to sea or went up the east coast. So we could be looking at something pretty rare for the region if it does come up.

cyclone77 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Picked up 0.18" from the decaying line of storms a little while ago. Had some 20-30mph gusts with the gust front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 89 today at Toledo. Can’t say that I’m ready for the heat. Headed out to ILX for the summer starting Sunday. First week looks hot. Could see a brief cooldown in about 10 days before summer returns after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yay 90 degrees! I just love 90 degrees and dews in the 70's! /s. So much for a spring that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I thought the storms were over once the evening line bypassed me, but I was awaken around 2am by a warning. The potential wind and hail passed just s/sw of me, but I managed to get a solid 0.66" of rain. I wish we could get another week of pleasant weather instead of the heat. I have more stuff to do in the yard/garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Omaha officially hit 100 today. Not bad for May 26th. MLI tagged 93. Hit 91 here. Nice to see more convection blowing up in the skies today. Time lapsed this storm that sat over Sheffield and dumped a few inches of rain on them. Nearby areas got zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Not even 10AM already 81/71/88 here. Summer definitely coming in with a bang early this year. We had a huge family cookout yesterday, backyard thermometer read 100 at one point, although it does sit in direct sunlight, with the heat index it was near 100. UPDATE: 30 minutes later we are at 86/72/94. Under full sun. Gonna be a scorcher today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 LOT bullish and going with 96 at ORD. Only 4 Mays have officially reached 95+ in Chicago -- 1934, 1942, 1977, 2012. 2012 is the only one to have 2 days AOA 95. Not sure if the lake breeze will hold off all the way through peak heating or if it will come through early enough to take a couple degrees off the maximum potential... here and at ORD.

CoalCityWxMan Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 89/69 here with no wind already. Hrrr has some areas reaching 99 today in N IL, but it also has dews mixing down into the 50’s which seems unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Got back yesterday after spending a week down in St. Pete Beach. Looks like I returned just in time for this short heatwave. ORD hit 89 on Friday and 90 yesterday. Looks like about 95/96 today, and then upper 90’s for tomorrow. Record highs are 97 for today and 95 for tomorrow, both from 2012.

Powerball Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 You guys have definitely been in a heck of a warm streak with Memorial Days lately. Below were the observed highs at DTW. Mind you, the average high for Detroit is between 73*F and 75*F... 2010 - 86*F 2011 - 89*F 2012 - 95*F 2014 - 86*F 2015 - 84*F 2016 - 86*F 2017 - 81*F (only 2013 was below normal, with a "freezing cold" high of 61*F) So you would think the other shoe has to drop eventually.

Other than the warmth and elevated humidity, zzzzz. Looks like the GFS was right all along. Impressive early season heat. HRRR showing pockets of upper 90s later today. Looks like some 100+ heat out parts of Iowa. MLI was 85 at 9am, which is 7 degrees ahead of yesterday at that time, and they made it to 93.

Chicago Storm Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wow... 99 would set the all-time May record.Yea, I’m bullish. Warmer UA temps then today, continued good mixing, and maybe a bit of feedback from the slowly approaching Alberto. Only negative could be an easterly wind, with a weak and unorganized surface environment. The long range HRRRx has pockets of 100’s across N. IL for tomorrow.

osubrett2 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Barring some underachieving temps with Alberto’s remnants, May 2018 will be CMH’s first month in recorded history with above average temps for every day of the month. Our “coolest” day was 5/5 with 69/51 for +1 on the average. We’re at +8.6F for the month and will probably top +9 by the 31st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
